Summary:
The Odessa School District has only one elementary school, P C Jantz Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some bright spots, such as strong 3rd grade academic performance, its overall academic achievement lags behind the state average, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.
P C Jantz Elementary has a student body that is predominantly White (83.06%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, two or more races, Native American, and Pacific Islander students. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.44%), Math (39.06%), and Science (46.67%) are all below the state averages. However, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in ELA (63.64%) and Math (72.73%) are above the state average, indicating that the school may be more effective in supporting younger students.
Despite the school's below-average academic performance, P C Jantz Elementary has a relatively high spending per student ($21,390) and a low student-teacher ratio (15.1 to 1). Additionally, over 53% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school may face socioeconomic challenges that impact student learning. To improve student outcomes, the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support its students, particularly in the upper grades.
